Pollard v. State (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Appellant was found guilty of first-degree murder and criminal use of a prohibited weapon. The Supreme Court affirmed. Appellant subsequently filed a request for postconviction relief pursuant to Ark. R. Crim. P. 37.1, alleging that his trial counsel provided ineffective assistance. The circuit court denied relief. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the circuit court did not err in denying relief, where Appellant failed to establish that his counsel was ineffective for failing to call certain witnesses, and the remainder of Appellant’s points on appeal were not preserved for the Court’s review.
